i say swears online posted:oh look at you, keeper of the secret knowledge from the lame leftist splinter offsite I'm not particularly interested in rehashing everything; the offsite was a failure and that's that. I think smarxist is a good poster and I like him. I don't have any agenda here beyond some mild pushback on the idea that smarxist was somehow drummed out for being too cool or whatever. I'm dropping it.

Dreddout posted:The other problem with co-ops, speaking as a former co-op worker is that market forces demand that co-op workers compete with other firms. Meaning you'll bust your rear end just as hard in a worker owned grocer as walmart, to do otherwise will result in your co-op going bust. Essentially the co-op workers are forced to exploit themselves in order to stay in the rat race demanded by the market. Curious if this is any easier psychologically. Like, I'm not afraid of hard work but I have no interest in putting more money in my boss' pocket.

Varinn posted:as a non-anarchist ive never understood the absolute vitriol people always have for them when they come up. a lot of anarchist ideas/theory seem really interesting to think about (but not practice), and as a political force they're probably the one group with less power than us lmao Anarchism as an ideology and driver of anti-capitalist revolution is good imo. Ultimately I view myself and the anarchist project as having the same end-state goal with some difficult but workable disagreements on how to get there. otoh goddamn we get a lot of self-described anarchists with no idea what the gently caress anarchism is showing up to organizing or activism work - not to participate, but just to posture and argue about whatever they think we believe. I chalk a lot of this up to online and try to focus on slotting them into whatever work they can't gently caress up for the short time they're there before they get bored or run out for being an rear end in a top hat, but goddamn its a hassle.

Lady Militant posted:The roman empire "fell" and yet I born almost 2000 years after the latest time of death for the empire can still walk in it's halls of marble in Italy. The USSR collapsed 30 years ago and yet what it did still influences our beliefs/actions to this day. No empire rules forever. I could've been clearer. I'm aware of the weight of history. The original post I read came across to me as implying that we can all simply sit and wait for "history" and its machinations to take its course, that broad organizing and revolution aren't necessary for our liberation, and I do not agree.

Pomeroy posted:Yeah, regular working class Americans just love epistemological theories of truth devised by anti-communist liberals working for Ford, and our opposition to such nonsense is why there hasn't been a revolution. Very good. Please face the wall now. Pomeroy posted:yeah, my office is closed thanks to quarantine, and I don't want to put local comrades at risk, so I'm reduced to trying to smash revisionism on a D&D forum. How the nerdy have fallen. my favorite part of being a communist is being threatened with violence by other communists because they're bored online

ButterSkeleton posted:They don't give much a poo poo at all, correct. However, the best move people can make regarding the presidency is to pressure the poo poo out of them to do the right thing, because there's opportunity to do SOMETHING. That's because Trump / Pence would actively, intentionally sabotage marginalized people if you even bothered to try. lmao

indigi posted:you’re right, historical examples of “actually existing communism” have no place in the discussion of building communism. ps youre a leftcom now While you are correct that it has happened in the past, murdering LGBT people who don't own factories is not actually innate to the ideology. Cpt_Obvious posted:Seriously, who cares if they call you commies? America has a permanent throbbing erection for bosses, offer EVERYONE the chance to be one and they'll jump at the chance. Tell them they should decide their own wages, their own hours, their own vacations, and no amount of Red Scare nonsense will make people be opposed to that. The problem is getting through that initial aversion to the brand, so just avoid it. So what have you called it, in these discussions?

KidDynamite posted:would the thread enjoy a book report style recap of my chapter readings? I don't think I will have any particularly new analysis, but I am the grandson of a woman who escaped Batista's Cuba by being caretaker to a rich families kids that definitely colored her opinion on Castro but I don't really get to know how because she has late stage Alzheimers and is non-verbal.. Then pops side is Dominicans from el campo. Definitely had a long path to be able to accept reading Marx. after arriving very quickly that the liberal ideology was completely trash. but not that the resistance to it via conservatism was also incredibly wrong. anything would be better than reading more dumb poo poo about the word police so yeah lets hear it (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
